C3 Auto Whip Clad Cable Cutter
Disconnect tool before changing feed roller, Notching

result in serious injury.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Use safe lifting techniques.
Refer to the "Identification" section of this manual.
The C3 Cutting Machine is equipped with cutting blades
already installed and was thoroughly tested at the
factory including cuts in MC cable. Cutting chips will be
present in the unit.
1. Secure the cutting machine on a level workbench,
table, or cart so there is sufficient room to feed
cable into and out of the machine. Each foot on the
cutting machine has a Ø9/32" hole for securing the
machine.
2. The workbench, table, or cart must be secured from
moving as the cutting machine pulls the cable from
a reel or coil.
3. Make sure the reel or coil is free spinning so that the
force required to dispense the cable is less than 25 lb.
4. Position the reel so the cable leaving the reel is
level with the input horn on the cutting machine and
approximately 7 ft. away (see figure 3).
Be sure the wire reel is properly secured to the ground
so that it does not tip over when the machine pulls
the cable in. Monitor the amount of wire remaining on
the spool so that the wire can be separated from the
spool at the end. Failure to monitor remaining cable
could result in serious injury.
